In her first interview since daughter Blue Ivy was born on Jan.7, Beyonce gushed about motherhood, changing diapers and justifying the absurd, over-the-top security measures.
“He will change diapers, of course he will,” said Beyonce, referring to Jay Z, who announced he would stop using the word “bitch” in honor of the child.
“He is going to be a very hands-on father,” Beyonce told UK Star magazine. “He has already said publicly that providing isn’t love. Love is being there. Love is doing little things for your child.”
Jay-Z, who grew up slinging crack cocaine on the streets of Brooklyn, was in the delivery room when their first child was born.
“He would not have missed it for anything,” Beyonce crowed. “He is a very protective and loyal guy by nature. He is a very protective husband, and since we have found out I was pregnant I have seen the protective father in him.”
Beyonce’s chose of words is very interesting. In fact, she mentions variations of the word protection as if she feels unsafe subconsciously.
The 30-year-old first-time mom also defended the ultra-tight security surrounding the baby’s birth at Lenox Hill Hospital.
“Security was very tight, not for the sake of it,” she said. “It was for the security of our daughter.”
The singer said she bonded with the baby even before the birth, which is not unusual for women with a new life growing inside them.
“Nothing can describe the feeling … when you hold (her) for the first time, the words can’t be found,” she said. “It’s an old cliche that the thing expectant moms look forward to most is holding their child in their arms for the first time. But it’s one of those cliches that is a real truth.”
You would think she was describing the second coming of Jesus Christ.
